Wow, 2 months seems an awful long time to be waiting for something like that. I've had lots of kidney stones but none caused those symptoms for that long. Best of luck with that.

That's how the VA does things, if they wait to treat you die and that's just one less to deal with.

Nothing says thanks to our vets like 'hurry up and die", that's so f**ked up.

They hold the purse strings so getting them to take care of us that do go is not the best care.

I started losing my hearing on an Aircraft carrier flight deck during Viet Nam. Also our shop was below the #1 catapult.
Tinnitus has gotten so bad now, I really am going deaf.
One branch of the VA turned me down because my "Household Income" is too high. (Being a Viet Nam Veteran is an exception to that rule.)
The Hospital has scheduled an appointment on December 26th. I can't wait to see how it turns out.
The democrats should worry more about taking care of the veterans that served than the illegal aliens..

I've had Tinnitus since 68, at times it's so bad I can't hear much but it rings all the time.
There is no cure but hope you can get disability! Good luck!

Old buggers (men and women) tend to be stubborn AF.
My parents were in Italy last year, dad did not feel well, even before their vacations, never told my mum; he ended up in hospital with heart attack and a new pacemaker.
He's feeling a lot better now that his heart has been stabilized.
I'd rather be phishing!

I ended up in the hospital for 3 days with pneumonia before thanksgiving. All I knew was that I felt terrible. Didn’t have a cough or congestion - just felt like crap. After a week and a half, I finally went to the ER. To say I was surprised at the diagnosis is an understatement.

My wife is a registered nurse. Still working at 68 years old.
She hates doctors and refuses to go get checked out! She never gets sick!
I feel your pain.
Sorry for you loss.
Older people do not get more stubborn. They're just afraid to find out what might be wrong.

rules.Sort((x,y) => {
return rules.IndexOf(x) - rules.IndexOf(y);
});
should be
rules.Sort((x,y) => {
return cfg.Rules.IndexOf(x) - cfg.Rules.IndexOf(y);
});
The first one is funny because Sort modifies rules
It never completes
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

I think I did that once. Once.
And, yes, I was trying to sort a collection which the sort modifies.  I forget the details now, but it wasn't long ago.

Now I've got my once - I think. I've coded since 1986. I know that's not near as long as some of you but still my memory gets hazy over decades.
This was more of my fingers getting ahead of me than an algorithm problem. I had meant to write the second one, but i spat out the first one instead.
I've run into non-halting loops due to modifying collections before, but not in a sort routine by fudging the sort values.
And the funny thing is I was just thinking about that the other day - how easy it would be to write a comparer which could hose the visual studio designer and possibly DoS devstudio.
I have better things to do of course, so I haven't verified what would happen if I plugged one into say, the design time type descriptors VS reads.

I started in 1983 (high school), and my favorite anecdote is still the time I crashed the school's PDP-11 by filling the disk with the log file of a depth-first maze solver.
Good times.

From the "Santa Hat Icon in VS Code Creates 'SantaGate,' Locks Down Repository" item from the Daily CP newsletter:
Quote: The Santa Hat on vscode insiders and pushing of religion is very offensive to me,
How is Santa "pushing religion"? Santa as a symbol for crass consumerism, absolutely, but I don't know what religion promotes Santa or how Santa promotes any particular religion.
All my life in fact I've kept hearing from members of all religions commiserating the fact that Santa is twisting the entire message around "the Holidays". Sounds like another case of a sourpuss of a snowflake getting triggered and taking offensive only to be part of some movement.
[Edit]
Re: the "no religion" rule: My entire point is that this is not a religion issue.

Note that Bob isn't wearing a Santa hat.
His headwear is a facsimile of cosmic-ray screens worn by early canine-type astronauts in his world, and is worn to commemorate the first orbital flight which didn't explode and spread millions of pieces of dog-like animal throughout his planet's stratosphere -- so it's not religious at all.
The bobble on the end of the protective wear (not the top) provided a filter for the pseudo-canines' nose-like organs -- but Bob obviously can't wear it that way around, because his head is not alien-creature-almost-like-a-dog shaped.
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

So as an avid animal rights protester I have to complain that Bob is celebrating the use of animals in dangerous situations. STOP THE ABUSE!
(Where’s my safe space?)
I, for one, like Roman Numerals.

It may stem from a precursor of Santa being a religious individual. The current depiction of Santa isn't supposed to be bound to any particular belief system, but being from the Southern US, I do see it happen often enough. I can see why it's misunderstood.
The National Geographic has a nice history of Santa article that's worth a look.

Not Coca Cola. I believe he's the new CEO of Boeing. He must have bought out Boeing. I suspect it went cheap!

What Americans think Santa looks like is primarily based on old Coke advertisements.

First they took over Santa (being responsible for his modern-day image), next it was polar bears.
Notice how they've dropped the oh-so-cute polar bears ever since people are now supposed to feel sad about them.
